Each year in our community a handful of fund-raisers stand out for the remarkable benefit they return to those they serve. The Camrose Association for Community Living’s Annual Charity Auction is one of those functions which are at the top of such a list. This

auction raises funds for programs for individuals with disabilities,

or brain injuries, for children with special health or developmental concerns and families at risk. CAFCL’s impressive programming is not fully funded by government which necessitates local fund-raising in an effort to reach the Association’s clearly established goals and business mandate. The date of the CAFCL 2011 Annual Charity Auction is Saturday, October 15. The theme is “Mission: Inclusion . . . iit’s t’s possible”. For information on how you can attend or support this evening’s activity contact CAFCL at 780-672-0257.

feature of the month

This month’s feature kitchen belongs to a couple who built their dream home on their farm acreage. Knowing that they would live with their choices for many years, they put a lot of thought into the look they wanted to achieve. They chose the Westridge door style “Cottage” – a shaker door with beaded center panels in a Knotty Alder wood. Then they complemented this with a painted maple island. The countertops they chose are a hand-hued wooden top for the island and concrete on the perimeter cabinets with a farmer’s sink, which reflects the overall warm, natural feel they wanted. They put in many decorative features, such as the wooden vent hood, staggered uppers, glass doors, large crown molding and an appliance centre. As well, the kitchen needed to be extremely functional, as this is a very lived-in kitchen. We raised the dishwasher and built in the microwave above that. Pull-out pantries, waste bins and “Super Susans” all help to ease the work flow. This is a kitchen that will be loved for many years and it was a pleasure to help them create this wonderful, unique space.

Camrose celebrates National Tree Day By Dan Jensen

Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre, the City of Camrose, Tree Canada and the Camrose Kodiaks celebrated National Tree Day in September by planting 60 trees next to the soccer fields at Rudy Swanson Park. Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre was one of just 22 Home Hardware stores across Canada to receive money from Tree Canada to help with the purchase of trees. "We are very excited to help beautify our community in a way that will enhance the environment and health of our neighbours," said Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre promotional coordinator Vikki Stang. "The people of Camrose have been great supporters of our store and this is o ne way we can show our community." Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre has conducted tree plantings in Camrose with the support of Tree Canada for the last three years. "We apply for the grants from Tree Canada but we also raise money for the purchase of trees on our own through garage sales, barbecues and fifty-fifty sales," said Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre spokesperson Jill Lindberg. Deputy Mayor Greg Wood expressed appreciation to Hauser Home Hard-

ware, Tree Canada and the Camrose Kodiaks for coming together to make Camrose a greener place. "It takes 500 trees to capture the carbon dioxide from one vehicle travelling 20,000 km a year," he said.

"It's a g reat project to counteract the effects that has on our fragile environment." Camrose parks director Chris Clarkson said the trees will help to improve the look of the Camrose sports area.

"We've already seen the benefits of the tree planting program in the three years that Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre has been involved," explained Clarkson. "We chose a different area

each year for the trees to be planted." Home Hardware and Tree Canada have partnered for the last 12 y ears to improve green spaces. "The tree planting project is a cla ssic example of what can happen when volunteers and organizations collaborate," said Tree Canada spokesperson Peter Murphy. "The fact that Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre has been doing this for three years speaks to the great vision it has shown." Tree Canada president Michael Rosen said in a media advisory it is good to see such a w idespread effort on the part of Home dealers in communities across the country. "It is ex tremely inspiring and it demonstrates Home's desire to do its part for the environment and to set a great example for Canadians." Trees naturally take carbon from the atmosphere and store it as wood. On average, 98 trees capture and store one tonne of airborne carbon dioxide every year. Designated in the House of Commons on March 2, 2011, National Tree Day was celebrated across the country with tree dedications, plantings, educational workshops, outdoor education walks, interpretive days, schoolyard paintings and seminars.

EXTENDED BUILDER’S WARRANTY ANNOUNCEMENT Zetsen-built homes out-performed during the recent “Monsoon Summer” in Camrose!

As usual, homes built by

Working Well Workshop presented by Camrose County and County of Stettler Help protect your water wells. Have you had your well water tested in the last two years? Have old unused wells on your property been properly sealed and decommissioned? Have you ever shock chlorinated your well? Do you know the age and depth of your well, or how it was constructed? According to Alberta water specialist Ken Williamson, if you answered ‘NO’ to any of these questions, your groundwater supply could be at risk. Despite the fact that 450,000 Albertans rely on groundwater for household use, few know that proper water well construction, siting, and maintenance can help protect your well from contamination. To ensure the safety of your water well, you should also know how far your septic system is from your well. Septic tanks should be regularly pumped and inspected. You should also disinfect your well on a regular basis. It is also important to regularly test and document the quality and quantity of water from your well. By keeping good records you can see how water quality and well performance has changed over time. Proper well maintenance and operation can save you costly repairs and ensure your well water yields are sustained over many years.

stood the test of time amidst this remarkable and unusual weather challenge.

With a track record of reliable performance for their owners, Zetsen Master Builders is pleased to announce doubling the length of their contractor’s warranty to two years, including moisture guarantee coverage. This is yet another reason to be confident in a home built by Zetsen Master Builders Inc. A recent high-profile, national survey pertaining to client satisfaction of new home purchases ranks Zetsen Master Builders Inc. as a true leader in quality construction. Owners report being genuinely pleased with their quality-built homes. As a real estate brokerage representing our community’s most popular builder, we are very comfortable stating Zetsen Master Builders Inc. offers impressive value for your money. We see first hand the pleasure a Zetsen-built home brings to our buyers. We’re proud and privileged to be associated with Zetsen Master Builders Inc.

If you’d like to find out if your groundwater is at risk and learn what you can do to protect your well,

attend a free water well management workshop being hosted by Camrose County and County of Stettler, and presented by the Working Well Program, with technical expertise from Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Alberta Environment and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, on

October 26, 2011 in Bashaw at the Bashaw Ag Society Grounds, Main Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Pre-register by October 20th This hands-on, informative workshop is designed to help water well owners better understand and manage their precious groundwater supplies.

BRCF grants $3,600 to Learning Council By Dan Jensen

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $3,600 to the Camrose Adult Learning Council. "The grant will make it possible for Camrose and area adults to carry on with their learning," said Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler. "It will contribute to their social, economic, and cultural development as individual members of the greater Camrose community." Camrose Adult Learning

Council executive director Diane McLaren said the grant will be used to support the work CALC is doing with low income women. "Some of it will go into writing groups, some into individual programs to help women improve their literacy skills, and some of it will go into materials and resources that the women can use," she said. The grant was made possible by the personal generosity of Deanne Morrow and Anthony Hladun. The Battle River Commu-

nity Foundation exists to support projects in east central Alberta which benefit local communities and have a p ositive impact on the future. Contributions to the Community Foundation are permanently invested as endowment funds. The principal remains untouched and the income is made available annually to support local projects. Since its founding in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1,100,000 to various projects and initiatives.

Battle River Community Foundation director Clarence Mastel presents a cheque for $3,600 to Camrose Adult Learning Council executive director Diane McLaren.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Grateful people are happier and healthier What is most important about Thanksgiving? A big family dinner with turkey and pumpkin pie? A paid day off work? A no-school day for students? The answer is none of the above. The most important feature of Thanksgiving Day celebrations is that our attention is directed to being aware of our blessings and to be grateful for them. Even as young as Kindergarten, children’s pre-Thanksgiving Day activities are centred on giving thanks. Many fridge doors are adorned with youngsters’ artistic skills which, in some way, said “thank you, mom” or “thank you, grandma.” These make the recipients feel good and I think the givers feel good, too. There is a magic in “thank you” that works both ways, at any age. It is easy for those who have much to just take it all for granted. A person who has never been short of food may fail to see that being well fed is a great blessing. One who can see, hear, and walk free of pain may not fully appreciate that these are gifts indeed. Among this crowd are those who tend to dwell on things they do not have rather than on what they do have. I like the Charles Dickens quote: “Reflect on your blessings, of which every man has plenty, not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some.” The longer I live the more aware I become of the value of our pioneers’ painstaking efforts to build schools, hospitals, roads, communication systems and much more to make a better life for us, their descendants. Gratitude for that energizes one to show worthiness of such benefits and similarly pass on gifts to generations that will follow. Religions and philosophers have long preached that gratitude is a virtue. More recently scientists have been studying gratitude and its connection to human health and well-being. Drs. Kay Judge and Maxine Beresh-Wreden have found that gratitude and appreciation have multiple physical and psychological benefits. They say that thankful people have better overall health, fewer physical symptoms, sleep better, and increased ability to resist viral infections. In summary, “People who cultivate gratitude, optimism and happiness live longer than grumpy pessimists.” Dr. Robert Emmons, a psychologist researcher, University of California, in Davis, is author of several books on the subject of gratitude and has a number of suggestions on how to develop an appreciative attitude. They include: keep a daily diary noting the good things of the day; focus on good things others have done for you because it makes you realize that we are interdependent and that we are loved; appreciate the small gifts of the moment like the smile of a child, smell of morning coffee, and the beauty of a s unset; take grateful actions, smile, perform random acts of kindness, help a stranger or a neighbour. That medicine is easy to swallow, doesn’t cost money, and will make the world a happier and healthier place. Let us be grateful for our many blessings – on Thanksgiving Day and every other day, too.

Dear Editor:

I grew up on an 80 acre farm in central Alberta. I don't think I knew much about farming until I moved to my husband’s 8,000 acre farm in southeast Saskatchewan. Since moving here I've learned how to drive a c ombine and bring in the harvest, and I've learned enough about the CWB to make an informed decision. You can't compare the plebiscite that just occurred with a federal or provincial election. In a federal election every vote is

equal. The same goes for this plebiscite, however, that means that my father's vote has the same weight as my husband's. My husband is a full-time farmer; it's his business and his life. My Dad is a n electrician and a farmer on the side who raises cattle and rents out his crop land, entitling him to vote. If this survey wanted accuracy, some weight should have been given to production, not just one permit book, one vote. My husband and I a re expecting a bab y in January and we're both very excited to know that this child will grow up in a c ountry where it’s not a crime for his parents to sell their own wheat and barley as of August 1, 2012. Because it’s not about getting rid of the CWB, it's about having a choice. Amy Hewson Langbank, SK Dear Editor:

In response to the critique of

Mary Warke in the Sept. 20 issue of The Booster by Bent Bonter, I would like to ask Mr. Bonter a question. As you seem to think your children are above speeding on the Camrose roads, may I ask you: "Do you supply your young offspring with a car and are you aware, at all times, as to the speed they are driving? You suggested erecting speed bumps in the mall area. Well, the authorities have erected speed bumps so high that it would almost give a person whiplash to attempt going over them. As for stop signs, etc. (which you suggested), I am a survivor of a bad accident where a car rammed me from behind, causing great damage to my car and myself. This was at a red light. To have responsible drivers, kids must learn these responsibilities at home by example (and you say you have done so). Congratulations Brent Bonter. Mary E. Ringwall Warke, Camrose

This year for National Family Week, we reflect on and celebrate Family Values and how we turn them into part of our everyday activities. M ayor Chalmers joined the Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition and some local families for some fun photo opportunities. So, we asked some of our local families what their family values are and how they practise those values “We value staying home to raise our children; eating together at mealtimes at the kitchen table; being involved in activities, dance, and hockey and just staying active in general. We try to do an activity once a week, where everyone in the family is present.” “We value being as environmentally responsible as possible by buying organic when we can, going to farmers' markets, bike, teach our children not to waste

things, hang clothes to dry; show caring and concern for others by giving food to the food bank every time we go grocery shopping; encourage our children’s faith by praying at night, going to church and letting them ask questions. “We value a sense of belonging and security, honesty and respect, encouragement and support, happiness and fun. W e talk about how we are a fa mily and how we must work together to help each other. As parents we also try to model the actions and values we want to see in our children.” As families, we all can turn our values into actions, just by doing simple and positive everyday things to and with each other. The Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition recognizes that families are very important to our communities and society and especially to our children. The family environment can positively or negatively affect the development of children. It affects children’s physi-

cal health and well being, social abilities, emotional maturity, language and cognitive development, communication skills and general knowledge. The recent brain development research shows that children’s early experiences (birth to five years) shape the brain. The quality of a c hild’s early experiences is greatly influenced by the environments in which children are raised and exposed to. I f their environment is safe and stimulating and if their adults are nurturing in the early years, children are less likely to develop learning difficulties and will have better health, learning, relationships and well-being. Communities are vital to creating environments for families and children to thrive and succeed. Children do better in strong supportive communities. The resources in the community can help to offset the impact of poverty and other risk factors on early childhood development. Continued on page 11

Inland Concrete Presents…

Concrete Facts #3:

Concrete Pouring Practices for Cold Weather

Did you know that CSA Standard A23.1 requires special practices for cold weather concreting for any concrete pour in which the ambient air temperature is at or below 5°C, or has a chance of falling below 5°C in the first 24 hours after placing?

Failure to adequately protect freshly poured concrete from the effects of cold or freezing temperatures for the CSA recommended time period can result in concrete that has permanent and irreversible damage, including failure to gain speciﬁed strength, increased water permeability, decreased durability, decreased resistance to sulphate and salt attack, and increased likelihood of ﬂaking or other aesthetic defects.

To help ensure strong, durable concrete, insist on the following practices whenever concrete is poured in colder weather: - Never place concrete onto frozen ground, even if it’s just a “light frost”. The ground must be thoroughly thawed before placement begins. - Make sure the subgrade, reinforcing steel, and formwork is free of snow or frost before placement. Do

not rely on the concrete to melt the snow or frost! - CSA Standard requires that freshly poured concrete MUST be protected from freezing and kept heated to a minimum 10°C for 72 hours after pouring; any concrete whose service life will see it exposed to freezing and thawing, such as driveways and sidewalks, should be protected for an additional four days for a total of 7 days at 10°C.

- Accelerators must not be used as a substitute for proper frost protection. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as “concrete antifreeze”; accelerators should be used in cold weather, but only to speed up the initial set as they do not prevent the concrete from freezing. - Insulated tarps, hoarding and heaters, and hydronic heating are all acceptable methods of maintaining proper temperatures so long

as the concrete temperature is not allowed to drop below 10°C for the curing period. - Driveways, sidewalks, and parking aprons are particularly sensitive to cold damage. Use of a low slump, high strength concrete and strict adherence to CSA Standards are required to ensure durability when pouring these types of concrete in late summer or fall.

Communities are the key factor in the Early Child Development Mapping Initiative, which will enable Albertans to better understand and support the development of young children. The Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition is w orking in the Towns of Tofield and Bashaw as well as the City and the County of Camrose. We have mapped our local boundaries and are beginning to identify our areas’ resources and assets. We will be sharing information about child development with our residents, our parents, our business people, our service providers and our educators. We will work to identify strengths and gaps in supporting children’s development and we will work with our communities to respond to meeting our area’s needs. We are looking for people within our communities to help us share the information with residents and business people. If you are interested in being part of this exciting Camrose and Area ECD Coalition, please contact Shelley at (780) 672-0141 for more information.

Camrosians will pay more for power and gas in 2012 By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents will be paying more for gas and power in 2012. At its Sept. 26 meeting, City council approved franchise fees of 18 per cent on the ATCO Gas delivery tariff and six per cent on the Fortis Alberta distribution tariff. The current franchise fees are sixteen per cent for natural gas and five per cent for electricity. Utility companies pay franchise fees for the use of right of ways for utility infrastructure and to compensate the City for costs associated with maintenance of the municipality's infrastructure. Those fees are then recouped by the utility companies from customers through monthly bills. "Utility franchise fees are collected from all utility customers in the City of Camrose," said

Diane Urkow, general manager of financial services in a report to council. "Some of these customers are exempt from property taxes." The new franchise fees will mean that the average household will pay $83.49 per year in natural gas franchise fees, an increase of $9.29, and $30.24 per year in electrical franchise fees, an increase of $5.04. The increase in revenue generated for the City will be $217,400, which is e quivalent to a tax levy of 1.2 per cent. The estimated revenue the City of Camrose will be receiving this year from the natural gas franchise fee and electrical franchise fee is $1,090,558. Councillor Brandon Blatz opposed the franchise fee increase, saying it is just another tax that the citizens of Camrose have to pay.

"It might be very nice to say that we can offset some of the tax levy by 1.2 per cent, however the people who are paying are still the people who live in Camrose, many of whom cannot afford further increases in terms of utility bills, in terms of taxes," he said. Councillor John Howard noted that the increase of one per cent in the electrical franchise fee and two per cent in the natural gas franchise fee should not cause extreme hardship on Camrose residents. "If we follow the recommendation of administration the average household will be impacted to the tune of $14.33 annually," he said. "I recognize that is a burden for some but it is not an excessive burden." Howard said franchise fees allow not for profits like schools, hospitals and churches to par-

ticipate in what the community is trying to do, including the construction of the performing arts centre. "I like the idea that non property owners are going to join me in that wonderful opportunity to help support the community. "It is a go od way to let them participate at least in part in the tax process." Councillor McIsaac said increasing the electrical franchise fee by one per cent would only increase the amount residents would have to pay by 42 cents per month. "I can afford that and maybe there are some that can't but I think at the end of the day it is not a bad w ay to go rather than just increase taxes for the sake of increasing taxes." Councillor Daryl Shillington said while no elected official ever wants to raise taxes or try to be

creative with add on user fees, it is difficult to maintain tax levels with all the wants that are expressed in the community. "We want to talk about the performing arts (centre) and public transit and they all cost a lot of money." Information presented to council showed that the five per cent electrical franchise fee rate currently being charged by the City of Camrose is o ne of the lowest in the Edmonton region, with the rates in Morinville, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Devon and Wetaskiwin being twice as much or more. The sixteen per cent natural gas franchise fee is below that of Stony Plain, which is at 17 per cent, St. A lbert, which is a t 18.80 per cent, Lacombe, which is 2 2 per cent, Edmonton, which is 32 .90 per cent, and Wetaskiwin, which is 35 per cent.

AFSC serves farmers in the grain field By Murray Green

Not only was Duane Albers outstanding in his field, he got his cake and he ate it too. On Sept. 22, the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation in Camrose served Heisler area farmer Duane Albers a h ome-cooked meal, prepared by A-1 Food Catering, in his field during his 6 p .m. supper break from combining. Dwayne won a contest held by AFSC to receive the honour of a meal for ten people served in his field. The harvest meal came to Duane to save him down time during the busy harvest season. "We wanted to give something back during the fall harvest time," said John Bibo, account manager for AFSC. "We wanted to give farmers a break because we know how hectic it can be during harvest." Bill Resch of A-1 Catering delivered a full hearty meal for the occasion. His choice of roast beef and chicken was a hit with the hungry farmer and his guests. "I've heard about an event like this before. I think CFCW does one. I thought it would be fun and had no problem doing it," said Bill. "It is a c hance to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. When you cater at weddings or large functions, there is a lot of pressure. This was an opportunity to do something fun." Bill said he does most things the same way, he just adjusts for the size of the crowd. "This brings back a lot of memories because we did a lot of haying when I was a kid. I think this prize is a good thing. Roast beef always goes over big and I knew this would be a hungry crowd. Normally, I serve large crowds in a hall, so this was a good challenge for me and I enjoyed the outdoor experience." This was a j oint effort by the AFSC. "We have three divisions within AFSC that sponsored this event. They are lending, crop insurance and agri-stability. They are all components of AFSC that help farmers when they need it," explained John. "The idea of the contest was to support a farmer during his busy time and when he needed a hand. It was a fun experience for all of us." The full meal deal in the field will be talked about for some time. "I have always thought the service at AFSC in Camrose was pretty good. Now, I have to say it is even better," joked Duane, who has used crop insurance and lending services from AFSC. "I c ame across the lending

by accident one day. They offered a lower interest than my bank did." Duane farms 300 acres, as well as working as a mechanic in Heisler. "I didn't know what this contest was going to turn out to be. It is just awesome to have a meal in the field for everyone. I didn't expect the padded chairs and the large table with a tablecloth. We thought we would be eating off of tailgates, but this was great to have the table and chairs like this." Duane's crew was combining canola at the time of the meal. "Everything has been going well this year. If this keeps up, I should be able to finish next week. Not only are we finishing earlier than expected, the yields have been over the yearly average. It has been a while since we have completely finished harvesting in September. Because we are early, everyone can sit back t onight and enjoy this meal and visit and have a good time before we hit the field again." Since Duane didn't have a crew of 10 people, he invited surrounding farmers to join him. "They were all excited to learn about the meal in the field. It has been the topic at the coffee shops and I think it will be for some time. I have to thank the folks at AFSC and A-1 Catering for making this a special occasion and doing this for me. It was great."

Contest winner Duane Albers digs into the homemade meal during a break from combining.

Food Bank serving fewer people By Dan Jensen

Camrose and District Food Bank is heading into the fall season on a positive note. Pat Hagen, executive director of Neighbor Aid, which operates the food bank, reported last week that the number of families and individuals accessing the food bank is down by about ten per cent. "It means that people are going back to work," said Hagen. Camrose Food Bank primarily serves those who are working at low paying jobs and receiving AISH payments from the provincial government. "We have 200 people that come in a month, which is lower than it was at the height of the recession," said Hagen. "That's a stable number for now but we would like to see it go lower." Camrose Food Bank is currently getting set to launch a fall campaign to restock the shelves that are getting a little barren. "There's a couple of initiatives planned for the next few weeks that hopefully will bring in enough food to get us to Christmas," said Hagen. The first of those will be Oct. 8 at the Edgeworth Centre,

just before a game featuring the Camrose Kodiaks. "The Farm Credit Corporation will be collecting food and donations," said Hagen. The Farm Credit Corporation will also be accepting cash and food donations at its office until Oct. 14. On Oct. 15, the Camrose branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in association with students from the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta, Camrose World Youth and other community organizations will conduct a food drive. "It's the second annual food drive," said Hagen. "They managed to go t o 2,000 homes last year and are hoping to get that number up to 2,500 this time." Anyone else who is interested in participating is encouraged to call the Food Bank at 780-6793220. Demand for Neighbor Aid Services

Along with the Food Bank, Camrose Neighbor Aid operates Breakfast Clubs at Charlie Killam, Sparling, Chester Ronning, Camrose Composite High School and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant

Schools, and a sn ack program at St. P atrick and Jack Stuart Schools. "The Breakfast Club and snack program help students get the nutrition they need so they can concentrate on their school work," said Hagen. "We feed 400 kids every morning." All the funding for the Breakfast Club and snack programs comes out of Neighbor Aid's account. "We would really like to generate more donations for the program so w e can buy the juices, milk, fruits and cereals," said Hagen.

Maneating plant comes to Bashaw Bashaw Community Theatre will present a d azzling arrangement of nerdy florists, sadistic dentists and carnivorous plants in the classic off-Broadway comedy Little Shop of Horrors. The performance will be staged Nov. 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 7:00 p.m., and Nov. 21 at 2:00 p.m. Based on the low-budget, comedy film of the same name by Roger Corman, Charles Griffith’s long-running stage adaptation of Little Shop of Horrors features lyrics by Howard Ashman and music by Alan Menken. A do-wop spoof of 1950s sci-fi disaster movies, the play follows the misadventures of Seymour, a down-and-out floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant. However, the cost of fame proves too expensive when Seymour discovers that his botanical meal ticket craves something other than water and is intent on global domination. Directed by Lori Miller, fresh off her spring run of the Tim Rice and Elton John classic, Aida, Little Shop of Horrors features Coleman Miller (Big River and Aida) as Seymour, Kelsey Johnson (Barnum and Aida) as Audrey and Derek Simmers (The End of the Rope and Jesus Christ Superstar) as the diabolical Audrey II.

Three types of hops are added at three points in the boil during the brewing process. The result is a light straw-colored ale with a bit more structure and body and the gentle tang of bitter hops. The 30 percent wheat malt gives it a clean, quiet, malty finish.

This rich, amber-colored lager is made from specialty Canadian malts. Lightly hopped, distinctly malty, Eric the Red brings a hint of sweet caramel that adds up to real flavor in a medium-bodied brew that’s simply classic. 5 percent a.b.v.

Local musician receives handbell recognition By Alex Oliver

Darryl Dewalt, Minister of Music for Camrose United Church, once again has received recognition from The Alberta Guild of English Handbell Ringers (ALGEHR) for two handbell compositions. According to ALGEHR’s website, the organization “provides opportunities for artistic development of Albertans through sharing, encouragement and appreciation of quality English Handbell Ringing.” Darryl entered two categories. Category B is a n original composition for 3-5 handbells and/or handchimes; and Cat-

egory C is a n original composition for any octave set of handbells and/or handchimes. Darryl commented, “The two bell pieces will be played at the closing concert at the Handbell Discovery Workshop on October 15 at Fort McMurray. I am fortunate enough this year to be able to have JUBILOSO! Bells of Concordia University playing the pieces. The first entry “A Voice in the Night is Calling” is an arrangement of a song written for the Mulhurst Lutheran Church Camp in July, 2009. Richard Reimer, Lutheran Campus Chaplain at the Uni-

versity of Alberta, wrote the text and collaborated with Darryl on the music. The handbell version was first performed by EmBellish, the handbell choir from Camrose United Church. Darryl’s second entry, “Majestic Images” is based on a hymn theme and variation for piano also by Richard Reimer. Reverend Richard Reimer added, “I was absolutely thrilled for Darryl to hear that both handbell arrangements were winning entries. Our collaboration at summer camp stands out as a c reative high point in my musical exploration.”

After three years of trying to get on the Rose City Roots Music Society concert series, the Boogie Patrol is finally set to arrive. The four-year-old Boogie Patrol band is a blues, funk and soul band from Edmonton. They had a s uccessful debut album Groove On or Bug Out. The band is led by Rotten Dan on harmonica and vocals, Nigel Gale on bass, Jeff Lisk on drums, and Japan's Yuji Ihara on guitar. The newest addition, Sean Grieve, fills out the sound on keyboards. Boogie Patrol combines blues guitar, keyboard and harmonica solos with a r hythm section that makes you want to move. "You are going to hear music that you haven't heard before. It will be quality tunes and we let the music do the talking," said Rotten Dan. "That's the way it should be. It is blues based, but it will be coming from all angles. We will put on a show because it is show business after all." They have added a high-energy funk and soul feel to the blues. Rotten Dan is gaining a reputation as one of the best young vocalists in Alberta. "We play anywhere, but the truth is playing shows that are part of a series or having a music society backing is huge. The timing is perfect because we have a n ew album and we are peaking." The Boogie Patrol will be on stage on Oct. 15 at Scalliwags. They will feature many songs from their second album that was released about two months ago, I Try and I Try, But I D on't Know What to Do, the Plan Was Set Some Time Ago and We Must Follow Through. "It is g reat playing in an intimate setting. They just have to watch for the sweat spraying at them. Playing in a music series is g reat because people want to be there to listen to you and not just to drink." Dan has written most of the vocals, but Yuji has added writing the music to the band. "More young people are listening to the blues. We're real excited to finally play in Camrose and in the Rose City Roots Music Society series. I've been trying for a f ew years to get in. The show should get people moving." Dan's favourite tune is "Taking Time"; it was written a while ago, but ended up on the second album. We have a song called "Camille" and it is important because it stems from Camrose. People really like "Cool Under Fire" and 'Where's Ronny?" Boogie Patrol is excited about finally playing in Camrose. It has been a long process, but blues fans will be glad they were persistent. For more information visit www.boogiepatrol.com or www. rosecityroots.ca. Series schedule

The CAMROSE BOOSTER October 4, 2011

Council addresses noisy vehicle concerns By Dan Jensen

Camrose resident Gary Keetch is moving forward with plans to petition the City of Camrose for municipal legislation that would work to shut down noisy vehicles. "He feels there are some things that still have not been addressed as far as different aspects of the problem," said Councillor Brandon Blatz at City council's Sept. 26 meeting. "He feels the problem goes a little deeper." Keetch expressed frustrations at council's Sept. 12 meeting about a t ruck with a n oisy muffler that passes by his house every night at 3 a.m. He said the noise is l oud enough to wake the entire neighbourhood." Camrose Police Service has responded to Keetch's concerns and monitored the street on which he lives, but as yet has not located any offenders. The difficulty, according to Camrose Police Service Inspector Lee Foreman, is witnessing the violations when they occur, or having the offender identified to allow for follow up action.

Provincial regulations

Section 61(1) of the provincial vehicle equipment regulations indicates that a m otor vehicle must have an exhaust muffler that is cooling and expelling the exhaust gases from the engine without excessive noise and without producing flames or sparks. Section 61(2) of the Vehicle Equipment Regulations deals with drivers who operate vehicles with widened exhausts, while Section 87 of the Use of Highway and Rules of Road Regulations makes it an offence to drive in a residential area in an unduly disturbing manner between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Section 115(2) of the Traffic Safety Act deals with stunting by causing loud or unnecessary noise with a vehicle, such as spinning tires, playing a stereo too loudly or wrapping mufflers loudly. City manager Damian Herle told council administration would have to take a look at what it is allowed to do in terms of a municipal bylaw. "We can't infringe on the province's authorities in terms of dealing with vehicle regulations," he said. "We would also have to consider that an additional bylaw does have matters to be considered such as enforcement of that bylaw and what authorities the City would be allowed in terms of that." One possible solution would be to deal with the matter under the City nuisance bylaw. City administration supports initiatives to ensure that provincial traffic laws are enforceable and consistent. It also agrees with a resolution put forward by the City of Red Deer at the Sept. 28 to 30 Alberta Urban Municipalities Association meeting in Calgary that if positive changes are made to traffic laws that the enforcement agencies be provided with any necessary tools, at no cost to the provincial taxpayers, to enforce provincial laws.

Council delays public works decision By Dan Jensen

A decision on the site of a new Camrose Public Works facility will have to wait a little longer. Camrose City council has asked City administration to prepare for review on Oct. 17 a detailed report on how much it would cost to develop and provide access to 19.5 acres at the west end of the Mohler subdivision as opposed to the same amount of land on the former SRI site along 41 and 43 streets. "We need to know how much money we can put into the lands," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers at council's Sept. 19 committee of the whole meeting. Pros and Cons

City administration is recommending the council go w ith the former SRI site due to the fact that it is more directly linked to the City's arterial road network than the one in the Mohler subdivision and would provide quicker responses for daily operations and e mergency response for public works crews. The SRI site is also adjacent to the City's snow dump facility, which would lead to operational efficiencies when there are winter storms. The property in the Mohler subdivision is p artially serviced with constructed roads, and has potential for multiple accesses. The disadvantage at this time is that it is partially covered by a large topsoil pile which would cost between $200,000 and $300,000 to remove, depending on how quickly the land is needed.

"Placing the City's public works yard at this location would free up the former SRI site for the construction of a new east/ west roadway to connected 43 Street to 41 Street, while permitting the creation of multiple small to medium sized lots on either side of the new roadway," explained a re port to council by assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson. Councillor Gerry Galenza expressed the view that the City should go with the Mohler subdivision land for the facility, as the land there is less saleable than the former SRI site. He said council should not be too concerned with the dirt pile, since it could be gone by the time the City is ready to build by the year 2015. "If we are going to start building next year I w ould say it is a b ig obstacle but we're still four years away. I'm sure we will find somebody or some use for it before then." While councillor Howard questioned whether the long and narrow shape of the Mohler property would be disadvantageous to public works, he agreed with councillor Galenza that the SRI property would be easier to sell in the future. "I am reticent to give up the more saleable land for City use," he said. "I think we as a City can make do with, dare I say it, second best, if we have to, in order to keep the best land to be saleable." A decision by council on the

location of the public works facility before the end of the year will allow City administration to finalize its plans for the designs for the Mohler subdivision and arrange the placement of underground services. "Some sort of road has to be constructed at either site," said Enarson. Mayor Chalmers said the ball is now in City council's court for a decision. "They (administration) are looking for council to make a decision so they can move forward. We have had that discussion and we have a timeline established. This isn't new to us. We knew one of these options was preferred." Enarson noted that the prices for the SRI and the Mohler property are basically the same at $100,000. "The prices for lots in the Mohler are 30 to 50 per cent higher than in the previous phase," he said. Councillor Howard expressed concern about the lack of activity in the Mohler subdivision, saying that one of the worst decisions ever made by council was to remove the requirement for property owners to build right away. "It allowed people to buy land and speculate on it," he said. "As a re sult the property is just sitting there." The selection of a future public works facility ties into the City's strategic plan, Going Forward: The Roadmap to 2015.

Redford made education her key focus prior to vote By Murray Green

One of the PC leadership candidate Alison Redford's main focus, has been on strengthening education in Alberta. She was named the leadr on October 2. A lison was scheduled to visit the Battle River School Division when her mother died last week. Alison sent representative Marion Leithead of Bawlf to share her letter to the Alberta Teachers' Association. "I want to read the letter Alison presented to the ATA executive last Thursday, September 22," said Marion. The letter reads, "I will commit to restoring the education cuts made in the 2011-12 budget within 10 days of being sworn in as premier. This funding should not have been removed from the budgets of Alberta school boards. I only regret that the timing of the leadership contest means that unacceptable disruption has already occurred that must be reversed. If elected premier, I will not allow that to happen again. "The restoration of this funding will allow school boards to hire back teachers and support staff laid off this summer. This, in turn, will reduce class size to a more manageable level. In consideration of the funding res-

toration, I will request that school boards also roll back fee increases passed onto parents this fall. "Further, I commit to stable and predictable funding on threeyear cycles in the future. School boards need to be able to plan, not annually react to unpredictable budgets. In order to keep talented teachers, we must be able to offer them longer-term stability, not a c ontinual cycle of layoffs and rehiring. Students and parents must know what to expect from year to year," said Alison in a letter to Carol Henderson of the ATA. Marion added to some of the statements in the letter. "I am committed to funding public education properly, and it is important that the government move quickly on that front. I cannot really field your questions as Alison would have. But there is one question that a Battle River teacher posed to me this week that I will answer. She asked, 'Where will Alison get this money?' "The answer is straight forward. The money was already there. As Alison said in her letter, it â&#x20AC;&#x153;should never have been cut.â&#x20AC;? In addition to that, 'the first quarter [budget] update stats show the

province netted $2.7 billion more revenue than was expected at budget time. So the restored $100 million education money would come out of that $2.7 billion.'" Even opposition parties admit that the revenue increase is enough to restore funding. "Alisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational goals are solid and practical. For example, in addition to her afore cited promises, she has a policy that introduces a â&#x20AC;&#x153; trades apprenticeshipâ&#x20AC;? for high school students completing their diploma. This enables students to obtain high school credentials while earning income. The benefits of this policy are two-fold. It encourages students to finish school while addressing Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s persistent need for qualified trades people. This is both practical and doable," said Marion, on behalf of Alison. "Your previous ATA president, Frank Bruseker, encourages all teachers (regardless of political affiliation) to go out and vote. Teachers who are willing to ignore their party allegiances, to vote for a leader who will ensure funding for educational programs for three consecutive years â&#x20AC;Ś we need funding that is stable and predictable, so that students can achieve their educational goals."

Marianne MacKenzie (nee Filthaut) March 1, 1927 – September 10, 2011 It is with great sadness and our unending love that we announce the passing of Ma rianne MacKenzie. The dearest mother, grandmother and the kindest friend, Marianne MacKenzie was welcomed to be with God on Tuesday, September 20, 2011. In memory, Marianne leaves to cherish her ch ildren Malcolm (Bev) and their five children and five grandchildren; Maureen (Rex) and their three children and two grandchildren; Allan (Cathy) and their five children and four grandchildren; Janet (Murray) and their three children and grandson; Rod (Aurea) and their two children; Tricia and her daughter; her sister Jeannette; her brother Fred (Eileen); and sister-in-law June. Marianne was predeceased by her loving husband of 58 years Norman MacKenzie; her parents Angela and Henry Filthaut; and her brother Henry Filthaut Jr. Marianne MacKenzie was born in Germany in 1927 and moved to Canada with her family when she was three years old. She lived in Edmonton, Maple Creek, Camrose and Medicine Hat. It was in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan where Marianne met and married her beloved husband, Norman MacKenzie. Later in life, Marianne and Norm spent many happy and relaxing years wintering in Arizona. Marianne was always an outgoing, caring and generous person. She l oved to be with people, getting to know them and their stories. She a lways made a po int of i mmediately memorizing everyone’s name, taking great joy in learning more about each person. Marianne loved painting. Even with her arthritis, she would still handpaint cards for everyone. She also loved needlepoint, reading, baking, sewing and watching sports with Norm. She e specially enjoyed teaching new games to her grandchildren and playing cribbage. Loving, thoughtful, gentle and true, Marianne leaves behind many good and special friends. To many, she w as more than a f riend. She w as an easy listener, very supportive, empathetic and always welcomed everyone into her home making them feel like they were family. She will be missed by her friends from Camrose, her bridge groups in Medicine Hat, and her many friends from Horizon Village and The Wellington. Marianne’s love of p eople was evident in her i nvolvement in her c ommunity and her church. She was a dedicated CWL member for over 60 years, and a Life Member of the Royal Purple. She volunteered with Meals on Wheels and the Hospital Auxiliary. A deeply religious person, Marianne was very involved with her church and all church activities. The focus of Marianne’s life was her family. She took great pride in her family. Even with her poor health, she continued to look forward to family celebrations and events, and had great determination to be a part of everything in her family’s lives. This strong but gentle woman leaves a legacy of love and support for each other with her family. She leaves a deep respect for each other and important life values that continue to be passed on through her family. In Marianne’s words ... she was blessed. The family would like to give very special thanks to the staff at T he Wellington. Your compassion and kindness to Marianne will not be forgotten. You helped to make her final chapter as comfortable and peaceful as possible. If friends so desire, memorial tributes to Marianne could be made to an organization or charity of your choice.

Norsemen Inn creates a new beer for Octoberfest By Murray Green

Sean Willms is bringing a little bit of Germany to Camrose. The Norsemen Inn owner of the Tap Room and Gravity Lounge started brewing a s pecially made German style beer in time for an Octoberfest party on October 14 and 15. The long-time local hotel, restaurant and bar became the site of the only freshly brewed micro brewery last year. “This is a special seasonal beer that is made solely for the Octoberfest season," said Sean. "The beer has been

made. We are currently aging it so it will be ready for the Octoberfest." He learned a lot about Octoberfest when he was training to be a brewmaster in Germany. "I got the idea when I w as in Germany. I wanted to create an event in our bar and Octoberfest is a g reat excuse to do that. Octoberfest means fresh beer to me. We are going to have bratwurst and pretzels, and we are going to make it an event in our bar." The special Octoberfest beer

offers a different flavour than the usual choices of Longship Lager, Horned Helmet wheat ale and Eric the Red lager. "It is a v ery easy drinking beer as well; it is not as bitter as German beer can be. It is actually a l ighter and smoother tasting beer, but it is d arker and is a m ore complex beer," explained Sean. "It is a German Octoberfest style of beer with six different malts and a little more hops than the beers we sell now. We followed the guidelines for making an Octoberfest beer, but

we have North Americanized it a bit because we didn't want to make it quite as bitter or as strong as it would be in Germany. We wanted people to be able to sit back a nd enjoy a few beers, rather than a full out nonstop drinking binge that occurs in Germany." In Canada, and rural Alberta, he wanted to tone it down a little to allow people to enjoy it more. "We are very excited about it. The Norsemen Inn has offered the same three beers since we opened the brewery. Now we have

the opportunity to offer another choice. It was fun to get a d ifferent recipe and create another great product. It turned out very well for us." Although the product is still aging, Sean can't resist sampling it. "It is coming along really well. I'm excited about the beer and looking forward to the Octoberfest." The in-house brewing company ensures that the beer is always cool, clean and fresh when you order it.

Ford F-150 A truck for the future By Dan Jensen

The 2011 Ford F-150 at Lamb Ford Sales is a t ruck for the future! With four high-tech engines, including a revolutionary EcoBoost Ti-VCT, the toughest truck in the class is now the most fuel-efficient, too. "It tows the most, it hauls the most, it generates the most available power, and it gives you the most bang for your buck at the pump," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. The 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 generates 365 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm. Reliability comes from water-cooled turbochargers, piston cooling jets and an oil cooler. Direct injection and variable valve timing give a wide torque band – p ower you'll appreciate while you have a 11,300 lb. trailer to tow. "EcoBoost is the ideal choice for towing and hauling," explained Read. "It utilizes advanced technology and engineering similar to that found in heavy-duty turbo diesel truck engines. EcoBoost works with twin turbochargers that created exceptional power by directing exhaust gas through turbines – spinning up to 205,000 rpm – t o pressurize, or "boost" the air that mixes with atomized fuel in the combustion chamber. Extensive durability testing pushed EcoBoost to extremes (go to You Tube and search for EcoBoost torture tests). Lab tests ran it at full-boost power for over 1,900 hours straight. And deep thermal shock cycles repeatedly tortured it with abrupt 121° Celsius temperature swings, replicating 10 years of use in the harshest environments. Estimated fuel economy with the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models is 31 mpg and 29 mpg respectively. The F-150's 3.7 litre V6 provides 3,000 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 278 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm, all while using just 12.6 litres per 100 km in the city and 8.8 litres per 100 km on the highway. The new 5.0 litre Ti-VCT four-valve V8 delivers 360 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 380 lb.-ft. at 4,250 rpm. The intake camshaft is specifically designed to help achieve its low end torque, and cast exhaust manifolds and a unique engine oil cooler allow for heavy-duty use and durability. The estimated fuel ratings are 14.0 litres per 100 km in the city and 9.6 litres per 100 km on the highway. "It has the most horsepower and torque of any comparable V8 engine," said Read. The 6.2 litre V8, already proven in the 2011 super duty, boasts a cast iron engine block with four-bolt main bearing caps and two additional cross bolts for extreme durability.

Fall car care helps forego frosty frustration (MS) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Properly preparing your car for winter is s imple and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a l ot of time or technical expertise. The payback in reduced risk of a preventable breakdown and improved performance is well worth the minimal effort. According to the experts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cold weather will only make existing problems worse.â&#x20AC;? Here are a f ew items that are easy and simple to check before fall turns to winter: First, familiarize yourself with your ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual and follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedules. No one knows your car better than the company that manufactured it. Motor oil: The easiest way to protect and improve the performance of your car is t o upgrade to a h igh-performance synthetic motor oil and change it regularly. Synthetic motor oils have better low temperature fluidity and a l ower coefficient of friction than mineralbased motor oils. This will help ensure easier start-ups on cold weather days. Some motor oils are actually formulated with molecules that chemically bond with engine components for continuous engine protection. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been proven in independent tests to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and increase horsepower and torque. Tires: Worn tires can be extremely dangerous on rain, snow and ice. Examine tires for remaining tread life and uneven wearing. Be sure to check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks as well. All season radials or winter tires are a wise investment for those who must drive in inclement weather regularly. Tire pressure should be checked once a month and tires rotated as recommended. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to check your spare and be sure the jack functions properly. Cooling System: It may be time for a f lush and refill if

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than a c ouple of years since the coolant has been changed. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is u sually recommended. Additionally, the condition of hoses should be checked for cracks and leaks. Windshield Wipers: Check the condition of your wiper blades and replace them if needed. If your climate is harsh, purchase rubber-clad, winter blades to fight ice build-up. Stock up on winter-formula windshield washer solvent. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised by how much you use. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an ice-scraper, buy one before you need it. Battery: A dead battery can make a cold winter morning a miserable one. If your battery is beyond its recommended service life, replace it. Top any low battery cells with distilled water. Clean and tighten battery terminals to ensure electricity gets from the batter to the starter on chilly fall mornings. If corrosion is p resent, clean it with a mixture of baking soda and water, and put on a set of battery washers to keep corrosion from coming back. Make sure the battery terminals and hold downs are tight. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also good to clean and lubricate hinges and the hood latch. Fuel: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep gas lines from freezing in cold weather. No vehicle can run if it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get fuel. A f ull gas tank will help prevent moisture and ice from forming. Particularly cold weather may warrant using a f uel deicer to prevent fuel lines from freezing. A block heater is another option that is fairly inexpensive and easy to use. A few minutes in the garage this fall will help prevent a much more time-consuming and unpleasant experience this winter.

Customer Service is our Priority

Reducing the risk (MS) -- Many drivers have experienced the scenario on the road where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attempted to change lanes believing the coast is clear, only to catch sight of a vehicle in the lane adjacent to them at the last minute. The car seemingly comes out of nowhere, but it probably was just in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blind spot. Accidents due to blind spots can be reduced and avoided if drivers take the time to properly adjust their mirrors prior to setting off. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to adjust your mirrors for optimal view to avoid blind spots. â&#x20AC;˘ Adjust the rearview mirror so y ou can see the centre of the rear window. â&#x20AC;˘ Lean your head over until it almost touches the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window, and then position the side mirror on the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left side so you can just see the rear quarter panel (the rear of the car) in the mirror. Note this will have it positioned farther out than you probably had it before. You shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to see the side of your car.

â&#x20AC;˘ Lean your head to just between the two front seats, at your normal height, and position the right side mirror so you can just see the rear quarter panel of the passenger side in the mirror. â&#x20AC;˘ Be observant while driving after adjusting the mirrors in this fashion. Watch how a car passing you begins in the center of your rearview mirror. As it approaches you, it moves to the side of your rearview mirror, and at the same time appears in your side mirror. This indicates there is no rear blind spot, because there is the correct overlap between the mirrors. Also now your side mirrors do a much better job of covering the blind spot on the side of your vehicle. Even after adjusting the mirrors to reduce blind spots, it is still recommended to give a glance over your shoulders to clear the lane as a p recaution. A motorcycle or bicyclist may still be small enough to fit in a tiny blind spot, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the extra check.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way for more than 30 years. Over that time, many things have changed, but E & L Autobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to customer satisfaction and our quality workmanship have remained the same.

Kodiaks' goalies keeping team in the games Photo by Sports Pro Photography Camrose has received good goaltending from Matt Gibney and Brayden Hopfe as the club moved to the top of t he AJHL south division standings. The Kodiaks defeated Okotoks 3-2 in a r ough, but close game at the Edgeworth.

Kodiaks' goalie Hopfe shuts out brother By Murray Green

If Brett Hopfe had been on the ice, it might have been a different story. However, the assistant coach of the Olds Grizzlys could only watch in vain as his brother blanked his team 2-0 on Sept. 27. The Camrose Kodiaks' goalie, Brayden Hopfe, won the family battle with 33 saves to earn his first shutout of the season and it came at the expense of his former club. "It felt really good to earn a shutout, especially against Olds. It's a great feeling," said Brayden. "I finally had the advantage over my older brother for once. He has supposedly beaten me up, but this time I got the best of him." Nolan Marshall and Nelson Gadoury provided enough goals to give Brayden the victory. The win gave the Kodiaks a 6 -1 record in the first seven games of the regular season. Camrose edged the Grizzlys 5-4 three nights earlier, on Sept. 24. Connor Mailey, Gadoury, Cody Pongracz, Ryan Huolt and Logan Maddin garnered single markers for the more dominant bears. Kodiaks' goalie Matt Gibney made 23 of 27 saves to hold Camrose in the game as Olds made a late charge. The Grizzlys scored twice in the last two minutes to make it a closer hockey game. On a si de note, former Camrose Minor Hockey referee Ryan Koehli was in charge of the game and did a go od job of settling the teams down after a rough opening period. Brayden isn't surprised at the Kodiaks' fast start. "Yes, we have a l ot of rookies, but Boris (coach Rybalka) has found some talent and they have been working really hard together – maybe not always the smartest, but definitely the hardest. We're working on the smarter part," joked Brayden. "They never give up and they listen to the coaches. If they keep doing that, we will be fine and improve." Rookies or not, the bottom line is that the team wants another shot at the Royal Bank Cup that eluded them last spring at the Edgeworth Centre. "That has been our focus and it is every year. It doesn't matter how young we are, we want to go there again." The Kodiaks just fell short last year, losing in a semifinal game. The Kodiaks squeaked by the Okotoks Oilers 3-2 score in a r ough contest on Sept. 23. Landon Kadatz, Ross McMullan and Pongracz supplied the offence with two power play tallies. "Things are going good. The team is making some rookie mistakes, but everyone is learning. It is my job to make some saves anyway, so I h elp them out as much as I c an. Our defence is playing well and stopping a lot of shots from the outside." The next Camrose home game is on October 6, when the Drumheller Dragons will be breathing down the Kodiaks' necks.

Ways to add years to your vehicle's life Getting more for your money is a p opular trend among consumers. As economic uncertainty reigns, smart consumers are looking for the best values in an effort to get the most out of each and every dollar they spend. One of the best ways to stretch a dollar is t o take better care of your vehicle. Buying a home and financing a college education are perhaps the only times many consumers will spend more money than they do when purchasing a v ehicle. But unlike a home or an education, few people take their vehicles seriously, all too often avoiding vehicle maintenance that can greatly increase a car or truck's life expectancy. Drivers who want to keep their cars going strong for years to come can do so in a handful of ways.

* Prevent, prevent, prevent. Preventive maintenance might seem like a boring way to spend a weekend morning or afternoon, but the efforts will be well worth it. Oil changes and filter replacements are quick and easy jobs but pay major dividends over the long haul. Drivers who aren't comfortable performing these tasks themselves need not worry about costly trips to the mechanic. Routine jobs like an oil change or air filter replacement are relatively inexpensive, and today's vehicles can go m uch longer between oil changes and filter replacements. Each vehicle manufacturer is different, so d rivers should consult their owner's manual and adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule. * Stay balanced. Balanced tires are tires that will last lon-

ger. But an out of balance tire will not only shorten the life of tires, it can also do damage to the rest of the vehicle while simultaneously making riding in the car much less comfortable. When a tire is properly balanced, its mass is uniformly distributed around the axle, making for a smooth, vibration-free ride. However, an out of balance tire shortens the life expectancy of suspension components, including bearings and shocks. Repairs that result from an unbalanced tire can prove costly. Should a vibration occur as the vehicle accelerates (typically, this vibration will be noticeable when the car reaches speeds of 40-45 mph), chances are the tires are not properly balanced. * Look good, feel good. The credo of "look good, feel good" isn't only applicable to humans.

In fact, a c ar that looks good likely feels good as well.Washing and waxing a c ar regularly helps avoid rust under the carriage and in the wheel wells. The longer a c ar goes between washes, the more likely it is t o rust, and the paint is l ikely to corrode as well. There is no quick fix to either of these problems, but preventive maintenance, like routinely washing and waxing the vehicle, can keep these potentially menacing issues from ever rearing their rusty heads. Preventing rust and corrosion is also a good way to ensure a car's resale value does not diminish over time. * Get out and drive. Cars that spend most of their life in stop-and-go traffic likely won't last as long as those that routinely get out and go. That's because

city driving with lots of stopping and going is v ery taxing on an engine. On a highway, air flow to the radiator, oil flow to the engine and everything that makes a car run is m uch more consistent, reducing the stress on the engine as a result. Constantly accelerating and decelerating is h ard on an engine, while the consistent speeds of highway driving offer a welcome respite to the engine. City dwellers should get out and drive their car on a h ighway at least once a m onth for no less than 30 minutes. This is also a good way to get rid of potentially harmful condensation that can negatively impact engine performance. When looking to get more for your money, one of the best ways to do so is to take better care of the car sitting in your driveway.

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

ROSALIND CHRISTMAS MARKET will be held Sunday, Nov. 20 from 1 - 5 p .m. To book a table call Teresa at 780-375-2350.

Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Abused 4709-36 Street, Camrose, AB 780-672-7231 horse www.autoshoppe.ca Pearl finds a caring Now Hiring ~ home Automotive Sales Consultant

By Murray Green A horse named Pearl is enjoying her new life in the Camrose area. Pearl was the recipient of an intentional blow to the head, which broke her nose and left a la rge puncture wound. She was taken in by Rescue 100 in Sherwood Park two years ago and cared for until she had surgery. However, the patch to close the hole in her head didn't last. "I w as working at Lammle's Western Wear and Tack and some staff were talking about horses that are rescued by Rescue 100. They started talking about this one horse, Pearl," said Shelby Gross. "She was an amazing horse that had a story to tell and they hadn't found a place for her to live yet." The teenager enjoys caring for horses, so she wanted to do something. "I looked her up online and talked to my mom about placing her. My mom (Candy Anderson) said we have the room and time to care for her, so why not? I think she has lots of potential. This is a n ew beginning for her." Shelby isn't sure exactly where she will fit in, but getting her familiar slowly with 11 other horses is t he first priority. "She may be able to have a saddle. That is something we will try later. I just have this feeling that she is so mething special. One thing I k now for sure, she is a great mom." Pearl was in foal at the time of the incident and still was able to give birth. The healthy, now two-year-old horse, has also been placed. Continued on page 41

County and drainage council share water concerns By Murray Green

The Camrose County council met with the Alberta Drainage Council to gather information about local water issues at a meeting on Sept. 13. Alberta Drainage Council (ADC) members Richard Schultz of Hay Lakes, Blaine Fenske of Bawlf, and Al Corbett of Camrose shared their concerns and duties with the County. "No other county has four drainage areas," said Richard. "There are nine districts in Alberta. We have Holden, Daysland, Little Hay Lake and Big Hay Lake that are in the Camrose County. We are old. The Holden district was formed in 1908," said Blaine. "The district can enact bylaws and policies for effective management of the district. We address numerous drainage (both flood and water) issues that are brought to our attention within the districts and take them to Alberta Environment. In 2006, we were asked to review drainage policy and recommend a n ew direction. We had 16 new recommendations." Seven of the important changes in 2007 were: to focus on sustainable economic agricultural water management; to increase alignment with Government of Alberta policies; to support ongoing rural water management through improved financial tools; to consider land use provisions of the act to better reflect local and provincial land use policy; to consider mechanisms to establish rural water management priorities throughout the basin; to consider districts as Wetland Restoration Agencies and consider educational benefits of districts supporting other policies on the environment and agriculture. "The County collects taxes for the districts and it is historic," said Al. "This was based on the percentage of amount drained back in the 1920s and '30s. We need to look at that again." Councillor Brian Austrom asked about the highway areas that now fall under the provincial government instead of the county. "We continue to pay an assessment, even though it belongs to the province," said Brian. "The province took over the secondary highways 17 years ago and it was never adjusted to reflect the changes." The County would like to see a c hange in assessing the taxes. "In the past, Alberta Environment did pay up to 60 per cent. Now it is down to zero with cuts," said Al. "We are looking into funding through municipalities." The tax rate hasn't changed in many years. "Taxation is something we are looking into," said Richard. County Reeve Don Gregorwich expressed concerns about working together with the drainage districts, Alberta Environment and Ducks Unlimited. "We would like to work more with the Alberta Drainage Council," said the reeve. The province is looking

"We would like the money we collect within the county, to stay in the county," said Al. "This makes nothing but sense to us." Reeve Gregorwich agreed. "We want the funds to stay in this county and help reclaim our projects. I'm glad to see we are on the same page on water issues." Richard said they have to always think about the effects of drainage on other areas that the water flows into. Not all wetlands will be restored because they are not good wetlands," added Al. "We have to look at what is better for the area and for the future." Reeve Gregorwich asked about the wet spring and how that affects the water flow to Dried Meat Creek that flows to the lake. The Daysland district

went outside of its district to help local landowners," said Al. "If we can work these things out, the districts will become more involved outside of its area." Jim Charpentier of Ryley pointed out that a c ouncillor from the County of Beaver attends their meeting and encouraged a councillor from Camrose County to sit on a drainage district council so more people will understand what the Alberta Drainage Council does. "Education is very important," Jim said. "Communication is very important and working together is useful," said Graham Backus from county public works. "Engineers and environment are always butting heads. It has to be workable, and logical expenses spent. It has to be resolved. Education and communication are so valuable."

Pearl finds a safe home Continued from page 40

"She (Pearl) is happy and healthy now. After they took the bandages off, she snorted and it all came apart. I'm not too worried about infection because she is good at snorting to clean everything out. We definitely keep an eye out for her. She has adapted to breathing differently." Pearl is learning to live comfortably in her new surroundings, under the loving care of new owner Shelby. "I'm not a trainer, but she is a good horse and I'll teach her a few things." Shelby wants to share Pearl's story so more horses under the care of Rescue 100 can be looked after and find new homes. "I want to send the message that for one horse that is placed, there are another 10 that come in that need homes. It is a good organization and if people can't give a horse a good home, they can donate to help with care. They need funds for hay." Rescue 100 has rescued 300 horses in the last three years.

The season started a l ittle later than usual with weather delays and soggy fields. Then the mosquitoes created havoc with practices and games. By the end, it was all worth it. The Titans played out the Edmonton Minor Soccer league at the Tier 3 level. This is when the soccer starts getting tougher. The girls are bigger, faster and tougher. We learned a few things from the first four games, but we stuck with our new formation of the flat back four (instead of utilizing a sweeper). At f irst we were getting beat on the back line, but a quarter way through the season, the girls figured it out. That’s when we became tough to beat when everyone worked together. Goals also came easier because we were working the ball up from the back and outside. We went to provincials with three gold medals in the three tournaments and bronze in league play; this gave us some optimism. The team had worked all summer for this tournament. The other tournament wins were a bonus, but a p rovincial gold would top it all. “We train all summer for one tournament only. That’s provincials. We are very fortunate as we know that we are going to provincials every year, so we certainly don’t take it for granted. We want to compete and let teams know that this small town team deserves to be there,” said coach Sam Burton. Provincials were held in Coaldale on August 5 to 7. Our first game was Friday night. A b lessing. This meant we only played once on the Saturday. With the weather in the high 20s, the Titans were looking to take advantage of their seeding. First up was Canmore Avalanche. With the long travel that day from Camrose, the girls were up for the game. No score at halftime, some squandered chances, we had the second half to look forward to. Early in the second half, the Titans found themselves on the board with a 3-0 win. “Canmore were very well organized, but our pace and tenacity finally broke them down. Our keeper had to make a few saves to keep them off the board, but we kept possession very well in the second half. It was a good win.” With that win, the girls earned themselves a game at 3 p.m. instead of 9 a.m. It was a great sleep-in. Next up was Belmead – a team with which the Titans were very familiar. Early in the game, the Titans found themselves up 1-0. Five minutes later, it was 2-0. Belmead didn’t know what hit them, 10 minutes after that, it was 3-0. The game ended at 4-2 and the Titans found themselves in the semifinals for a second straight year. “Belmead was another team that handed us our lunch a couple of times this season. We had to be at our best to beat them, and we were. We were fitter, first to the ball all game and executed when we had our chances. Belmead are a v ery good team, but we were better on the day.” Continued on page 43

Soccer team

Continued from page 42

Another old foe in the semi final was Airdrie. These two teams have met in most tournaments in which they play. This one was special. Following the trend from the Belmead game, the Titans found themselves up 2-0 early and never looked back. The final result was 4-1 and the Titans found themselves in their first outdoor provincial final. “Airdrie has always been tough to play against, and they were no different today. They are very good friends with the Camrose soccer association as they are always supporting our tournaments. It was good to see them, but a shame that one team had to lose. They have a good program down there.” Sherwood Park was waiting for us in the final. Another team that the Titans had to fight the demons and get past. With temperatures close to 30°C, and both teams having played in the morning to get to the final, it wasn’t going to be the fastest game. Both teams were beat up and sore, but unfortunately that's what it takes to get to the final. The team that is less beat up will win. The game started slow with chances squandered on both sides. Early in the second, it was Sherwood Park opening the scoring. With both teams tiring late in the game, it looked as though that would be the only goal. “I thought to myself, Silver is okay. We’ll take that. It would top off a fantastic season.” But Jesalyn Clarkson would have none of it. A glancing header just missed the post by an inch, and five minutes later she took a crossed ball and just lobbed it over the keeper's head to tie the game. “There couldn’t have been a m inute left by my watch. Unbelievable.” Off to the overtime with two 15 minute halves. The parents’ nerves were done. Early in the first half, Hayley Brockhoff put the Titans ahead with a g reat individual effort. That lead was short lived, as five minutes later, Sherwood Park tied it up. Second half and Sherwood Park was out of gas. “I looked at the coach as his girls were calling to get subbed off, and he had no one to come in. That was a beat up team. Our girls sensed that in the first half of overtime.” All the work during the summer, the running, the wind sprints, the agility drills all paid off two minutes from the end. Jenya Rust spotted Hayley Brockhoff running for a gap between defenders and laid the ball right on to her feet. Hayley made no mistake and put the Titans up for good – 3 -2 was the final and their first outdoor gold medal. “I could hear all the parents let their breathe out at the same time. There was a “ never die” attitude on this team. I d on’t think that Sam and I h ave ever been a pa rt of something like this. The girls deserved everything they got. We are very proud to be able to help them accomplish something like this.”

Atom Buffaloes complete important first pass

Space For Rent D & D Vehicle Sales & Service

(former Norseman Pontiac Building)

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes atom football team took a huge step in learning the game by completing a well-executed play last weekend. Although the Buffaloes lost to the Sherwood Park Warriors on Saturday, September 24, by a score of 40-12, they had reason to celebrate. "Some of the positives we took away from this game were that w e had our first completed pass of the season and we went on to complete two more passes," said coach Fitz Sherman. "One pass was completed in spectacular fashion when our tight end Owen MacPherson made a g reat diving catch to keep a d rive alive. He went on to catch one more pass and Dalton Chartrand made the other catch. We also had our first interception and it was for a touchdown as Teryll Sherman fought off the receiver for the ball and romped for about 40 yards into the end zone." The Buffaloes started slowly in the first half of the game and their tackling was weak. "In the second half we woke up, got some energy, and scored two touchdowns. The offensive and defensive line played well in the second half." Linemen, Tanner Woody, Noah Segal and Joshua Moores were credited with playing well by the coach, going both ways all game. "Linebacker Jonathon Griffiths also made some key tackles. Once again our defence was able to stop this high powered offense – t wice in the red zone, including right before half time. That gave us some momentum going into the second half."

We have five service / shop bays for rent along with office space, storage, lunchroom, separate washroom and parking. Four bays have 10’x12’ doors and one with a 21.5’x16’ door. The office and storage space is approximately 1,895 sq. ft. with private access. The lunchroom is approximately 10’x10’ with a fridge and microwave oven.

Tablet revolutionizes world of computers The tablet has revolutionized the world of computers, offering consumers a device that is more portable and lightweight than a notebook computer. Its utility and application for entertainment and general use has quickly elevated its status as a must-have device, particularly among on-the-go professionals. Since the inception of the Apple iPad, many computer manufacturers have developed their own takes on the tablet design. While the tablet has main-

stream applications, it begs the question how one can be put to use in the business world. Tablets have very good battery life, so they can be used for long periods of time between chargings. The portability means they can be taken anywhere and presentations can be made in the boardroom or on the boardwalk. Mobile meetings and notetaking are also easy with tablets, and professionals are never without access to e-mail or the Internet.

Local Scouts attend Jamboree on Sunshine Coast The 6th Camrose and 1st New Norway Scout troops travelled to Camp Byng on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast this summer for the Pacific Jamboree. There were a total of 11 scouts and four leaders from the Camrose area but there were over 3,000 youth and leaders in total attending PJ 2011. The theme of the Jamboree was Lord of the Rings, so all of the camp’s facilities and activities were named after the characters and locations from the famous middle earth of Tolkien’s books. The weather, even though it was a little wet, did not dampen anyone’s enthusiasm. The troop left Camrose early

Friday, July 9, caravaning in two vans and camped overnight in Kamloops. Then it was back into the vans and on to Vancouver to take the ferry to the Sunshine Coast and from there another short drive to Camp Byng. For some of the scouts it was their first time visiting British Columbia and seeing the Pacific Ocean. The opening ceremony was held Sunday, July 11, and British Columbia’s Lt. G overnor Steven Point and Jane Yale, Scouts Canada’s Executive Commissioner and CEO addressed the crowd. The Uzume Taiko Drum Group performed and there was a special visit by the helicopter from

British Columbia’s search and rescue team. Some of the activities of the camp included a half-day mountain biking trip (Escape from Mount Doom), Wall climbing (Scale the Black Tower), Trail building (The road to Isengard), Geo-caching (Samwise’s secret stash) and Frodo’s Quest which was a t hree-hour long obstacle course that took the youth high up in the trees and crawling around on the ground. "From the feedback of the kids I believe that Frodo’s Quest was the favorite activity of the week," said Scout leader Rod Mac-Innis.

There were also a f ew offsite activities for the youth as well: a d ay trip to Sechelt for a treasure hunt (Pippin’s Sechelt Adventure), a v isit to the Salmon hatchery at Chapman Creek (Mirkwood Trail) and a day trip to Gibsons (Merry Brandybuck’s Trip to Town) – the location of the television series, Beachcombers. On the trip to Gibsons the group stopped in for a lunch at the infamous Molly’s Reach café. "From all reports it was a good place to eat," said MacInnis. The trip gave the youth an opportunity to meet many other scouts from across Western Canada.
